Just occured to me that functionally that seems to be their role. Conspiratorially, super troubling. Viewed this way, it’s essentially the NSA without political oversight (what little the NSA had to begin with).

    No. The NSA is not just developing, but mainly executing orders (actual intelligence work). Palantir is a software/platform/service provider. It is very likely that no employee of Palantir gets to see any sensitive data at all.
